Gotham Steel Pans Reviews

I bought the 12" pan a while ago but had not used it. I have used it a total of not more than FIVE times. The food got stuck to it, and it is not easy to clean as was claimed. Here is the kicker folks...the paint is CHIPPING! That's right; the PAINT IS CHIPPING! And to think I was going to buy a set for my mother. I had to give it one star to be able to write the review.

I agree with everyone that the cookware works great for the first few uses, but then develops spots that stick and cannot be cleaned no matter how hard you try. But what I did not expect was, the other night while I was simmering a pot of soup on my gas top range, the lid made a popping sound when I went to check on it, it had burst into a million pieces for no apparent reason.

I tried calling customer service, and she told me there would be a $10 fee to replace the lid plus shipping and handling. When I complained, she said "let me give you the corporate office, I apologize," and said that I had to call the corporate office. I called the corporate office and continued to tell them my story, and they instantly disconnected me and sent me to an automated line that said the number for customer service is 888 326-0978. Yeah you guessed it, the same number I called initially.

While using my pan last night, I hear a BANG and something flew off. I found out it was one of the covers and I found it 20+ feet away from the stove. This product isn't safe, and as far as being stick-free, that is a bunch of hogwash. What is the company going to do about this problem?

My husband and I saw and loved the Gotham pots and pans set and two of our kids bought us a set for Christmas. The Red set, and we loved it. We didn't get to use it much at first as we were away for two weeks and then ill (flu) for another week or so. My husband made soup one day, and when he washed out the pot, it dropped into the sink, and when he picked it up and rinsed the soapy water out of it, there was a chip in it.

After investigating the return policy at the local Showcase, we found it was past the 60 days. The kids had bought it in November and this happened the beginning of February, and the girl who works there said the warranty was expired. My question now is can I use the pot or not, believe it or not, the chip is on the "inside" of the pot! The girl at the store didn't know either.

After seeing the ad on TV, I insisted that my husband buy me the pan (which included one fee one), as the idea of not needing to use oil or cooking spray was exciting.

The pans arrived, and finally, I was able to make my daily omelet. The eggs stuck to the pan and the handle (not being plastic) was uncomfortable. The omelet did not taste as good as it was “scraped off.” The second and third attempt, the same. Also, the food gets stuck in the crevice of the handle’s screws. A HORRIBLE purchase with a return policy that charges you shipping and handling.

Do NOT buy this product! It is awful.

I purchased a 10" square pan from BJ's, a month and a half ago.

I noticed yesterday, a bare metal in pan's bottom. I have been cooking for many years, so I am aware of the care needed to be taken using non-stick pans.

BJ's refuses to exchange the pan or offer a refund. What are the remedies offered by Gotham Steel? The sticker attached to pan states lifetime replacement of defective pans. But your website says 90 days. What am I supposed to believe? Other then there is a scam being offered.

Let me know!

After waiting 6 months for my whole order and being charged two times out of my account, I will never order from this place ever again! The products are not what they say, and customer service is even worse.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have a big Gotham Steel fry pan. It was great for approximately six months and then developed spots that stuck food terribly. I never used anything but plastic utensils. I wouldn't buy from them again.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I followed the instructions to a tee. I was so excited to start using the pan and cooking sheet, and it was NOT GOOD. The FIRST TIME I used the pan and cooking sheet, EVERYTHING stuck to it, and they were NOT easy to wash. What a waste of money. The cheapest Walmart products are better than this. Do NOT buy this product! It's a scam 100%.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Whenever I say "worst ever," that is so an understatement. I wish I would have just bought a traditional, toxic, Teflon pan over this crap! I mean, seriously! I even seasoned the pan. Still didn't help. I have had the pan for less than four months, and it's already garbage. Serves me right by buying into the "As Soon on TV" crap! Lesson learned, however. I will never give this company another dime, and I would highly suggest anyone reading these reviews to take them seriously. I wish I would have before I purchased these pans. Granted they were decent for like the first two uses, after that, it was a quick decline.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Like most on here, I experienced fairly good results for the first month, and then everything started sticking and burning. I take very good care of my cookware, no marks on the surface. Even bacon sticks cooking at low temperature.

I bought three of these "things." What a waste of money.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
